And here is now ANZAC´s Mk.III Valentine infantry tank with the Red Army. This is because 1.300 of these tanks were sent to the USSR, only a handful remained in Britain for training purposes!

@Fairline e @Jimpanse:
Guys, your U-N-I-T-S:
"Dilexi iustitiam, odivi iniquitatem, propterea morior in exilio" [PAPA GREGORIUS VII +1085] - ("He amado la justicia, he odiado la iniquidad, por eso muero en exilio") - ("I loved justice, I hated unfairness, that's why I die in exile") - (J'ai aimé la justice, j'ai détesté l'iniquité, c'est pourquoi je meurs en exil") - ("Ich liebte Gerechtigkeit und hasste Ungerechtigkeit, deshalb sterbe ich im Exil")

Fairline, those British Far East Infantrymen are supurb. Are you sure that the uniforms were that green though?
Some of them must of ended up in New Zealand - the Kiwis used them in the Solomon Islands in 1943 and they remained in active service with the NZ Army until the 1960s(!). The NZ Army only managed to get them replaced after proving to the government that the ancient tanks were making the Army a laughing stock, and seriously reducing the number of people willing to volunteer for the army.Originally posted by jim panse

After they were replaced recruitment increased.

The British jungle green was closer to this shade than the other colour available in the civ2 palette (ie the olive greens). Bear in mind that Australians and New Zealanders towards the end of the pacific campaign tended to wear US olive green fatigues rather more than British-pattern jungle fatigues. The US patterns were much less 'green', if this makes sense
